ELECTING A u. S. SENATOR.

Berkeley County is highly favored
in the election of Judge G. j. Faux
ner to the United States Senate
from this State. 1t came to him un.
expectedly. When the Legislature
met in January, a pretty strong
opposition developed itself against
Democratic practice and party
choice, as represented by j. n. Cam.
den to be his own successor in the
q. s. Senate. Ten or twelve repre-.
sentatives refused to accept him as
the caucus nominee. and after the
second Tuesday of the session the
fight waged daily witch increasing
force until adjournment without the
election of any one. The feeling
against Camden gained ground
among the people, and various
meetings were held for and against
his reelection. For some years
dissatisfaction has been lurking in
the party, among the people as well
as with the politicians. 1t would
take too much space to go into par
ticulars. The truth is, politically,
Camden could not appoint every
body to Office; and as in all political
organizations, some persons and
sections were favored at the expense
of others. Many able Democratic
leaders in the State were ignored,
and the party became more or less
managed by those nearest and
dearest to Camden. The opposition
to him was the strongest in the
counties giving the highest Demo-
cratic majorities, such as Jefferson,
Hampshire and Hardy. The most
important Offices under Camden
management were filled from coun.
ties considered doubtful if not openly
Republican. r#-.
Two points OF attack we're urged
above all others, and upon which
the appeal was made to the people,
these we're anti-caucus and anti.
monopoly. That part of the party
leadership which received no recog-
milton, refused to be bound and con-
trolled by caucus which was cut
and-dry without its say or will.
Then again, by the power of money
and influence in legislation, coupled
with his connection with the Standard
Oil stronghold, Camden came to be
looked upon as a monopolist who
was bound more by corporation in
ducements than by the will and
welfare of the people at large.
Politically, Camden was a pro-
tectionist, hence he was above all
risk.running the choice of such Re.
publican leaders and capitalists as
had extensive stock in mines, mills
and manufactures. This is shown
by the fact that the whole Republi-
can press and the body of that party
were against him, on account of the
corrupting influence of money in
elections while the few that were
with him were influenced by in
dividuals whose interests were as
much Camden's as their own.
It is no use to go over the ap.
poiDtment of Lucas by the Cover

ity than individual opinion or
personal preference. zlil
There is one fact in all this want
of party agreement, that is generally
overlooked, and the same is at the
bottom of all opposition, whether

THE Chicago Woman's Unitarian
Association, at its monthly meeting
last week, passed a hearty vote Of
thanks to Senator Farwell, whose first
vote from the lamented Logan's seat
in Congress was in favor of the Wo

meeting of about hundred women
there were only two or three dissent
ing votes. We like to put the claim
of women to the ballot, where Her.
bert Spencer places it, not upon the
argument of expediency, or the expec-
tation of reform, but upon the law Of
justice; the demands of developing
humanity according to the law of evol.

the way towards perfect social system

ment. Says Huxley: Suppose, for
the sake of argument, We accept the
inequality of the sexes as one of ma
lures immutable laws; call it a fact
that women, are in mind, morals and
physique. Why should this settle or

called Woman's Rights? Would not
this very inferiority be reason why
every advantage should be given to the
weaker sex, not only for its own good
but for the highest development of the

IT is beginning to become a recog-
nized fact that Puget Sound will be
enabled, if the Interstate Commerce
bill docs not prevent, to find a mar
ket of inexhaustible breadth East of
the Rocky mountains, for all of its sur
plus product in wood and timber.
The Chicago Lumberman, an authority
on the subject, remarks that the Pu-
get Sound mill owners are confident
that they will soon ship lumber to the
Chicago market, and the others this
side the mountains. Already ship
ments of Puget Sound shingles of some
magnitude have been made to Ohio,
and a trade is likely to become estab-
lished in this particular. 1t is too late
in the day for men to assert with any
degree of confidence that Pacific coast
lumber will never compete with the
white and yellow pine in this country
this side the Rocky mountains. The
Michigan capitalists that are buying
Pacific coast timber land in large areas
have come to the same conclusion"
